DAMASCUS, Oct. 21 (Xinhua) -- The Syrian army said Saturday that the Israeli forces targeted a military position in the southern province of Qunaitera, leaving property losses.

The terrorist groups near the Israeli-occupied Golan Heights fired mortar shells that landed in an empty area in the Israeli-occupied territory, and promoted Israel to carry out its "aggression," the army statement said.

It charged that the terrorist groups fired the mortars in coordination with Israel to justify the latter's aggression on military posts in Syria.

The army, meanwhile, warned of the "dangerous repercussions" of the attack, holding Israel responsible for the "results" of the attack.

The Israeli attack is the latest in a string of similar moves that have targeted Syrian military posts on the pretext that the targeted areas contain Hezbollah-bound weapons.

Another pretext Israel uses to hit Syrian site is that stray mortar shells land in the Israeli-occupied territories.

More likely those mortars are fired by the rebels, but Israel responds by hitting Syrian military posts.
